CONCEPT

For many guitarists, the optimal distorted guitar sound is still that of an overdriven tube amp power stage

producing especially harmonious sounding overtones. The problem: in high-powered amplifiers, this is

often connected with an unbearable, even unhealthy volume level until one finds the “sweet spot”. When

using a lower powered amplifier, on the other hand, the threshold is quickly reached at which the clean

sounds are not loud enough and unwanted distortion occurs too soon. Now the Palmer Power Pad offers

a solution to the problem. When connected between the amplifier and the speaker cabinet, it can con-

vert more than 80 % of the delivered output power into heat. Thus the volume is reduced dramatically.

The PDI06 is a power attenuator for live applications. This permits practical volume reduction in five

increments from 70 % to 18 % for stage and practice room situations. An additional level makes the

speaker completely mute; the PDI06 then functions as a LOAD BOX and absorbs the entire output power

of the amplifier. On the other hand, a bypass switch can be used to send the full output power to the

speaker cabinet. We have good reasons for designing the device so that the volume cannot be reduced

to a “whisper”. Guitar speakers are supposed to amplify the quiet acoustic instrument signal. In order

to deliver the desired sound, they require a minimum power to set the membrane in motion. However,

this is typically more than the aforementioned “whisper”. However, if your application only permits this

low volume level, we recommend using the “load box” setting and reproducing the signal via a home or

studio monitoring system with the additional help of a Palmer PDI09. For more information: see below.

In a manner comparable to that of a speaker, the PDI06 loads the amplifier as an impedance and not just

as a purely ohmic resistance. The PDI06 is completely passive in operation and thus does not require

a power connection.

SETUP

The PDI06 MkII should be set up in a location with unimpeded air access. The ventilation slits in the

cover must never be covered. Because the device generates heat, avoid placing it next to other sources

of heat. A good location, for example, would be next to the guitar amplifier, since this also results in short

cable distances. All connecting cables to the PDI06 must be speaker cables with TRS mono plugs. A ca-

ble from the amplifier to the PDI06 and a cable to the speaker cabinet are required. Because it is possible

to connect two cabinets to the device, an additional cable may also be necessary. The connectors of the

PDI 06 are self-explanatory. The cable from the amplifier output is connected to the “FROM AMPLIFIER”

socket. There are two “TO SPEAKER” sockets as outputs for speakers. Both sockets are wired in parallel

and thus are equivalent and can be used in any order. It is important to select the correct impedance

for the connected equipment. On the amplifier, the impedance must be selected in accordance with the

version of the PDI 06. Thus for an 8 ohm PDI06, the amplifier must also be set to 8 Ohms, and/or the

corresponding output must be used. The same applies for the speakers. Because there are two sockets,

it is possible to connect either one 8 Ohm or two 1 Ohm cabinets. With a 4 Ohm PDI06, one can connect

one 4 Ohm cabinet or two 8 Ohm cabinets.

NOTE: The 16 Ohms Version only has one speaker output as two outputs would require 32 Ohms

OPERATION

Once the cables have been connected, the amplifier can be turned on. To attenuate the output power, the

rocker switch labelled “BYPASS/ATTENUATOR” must be set to the ATTENUATOR position. The indicator

knob is used to attain a stepwise reduction in volume. The 70 % setting results in the minimum reduction

and the 18 % setting in the maximum reduction of the speaker level. An additional level labelled “LOAD-

BOX” mutes the connected speakers. The output power delivered by the amplifier is entirely absorbed

by the PDI06. In combination with a Palmer PDI09, “The Junction”, this provides an outstanding way to

record the guitar tone you want without being a nuisance to others. The PDI09 is a special DI box that

simulates the sound of guitar speakers. The PDI09 is connected between the amplifier output and the

input of the PDI 06. Then a realistic sounding signal can be sent from the balanced XLR output of the

PDI09 to, for example, a mixing desk. This capability can also be used live to transmit the guitar sound

to the PA system without using a microphone. The PDI06 is used to adjust the stage volume of the guitar

speakers without affecting the signal sent to the engineer at the mixing desk. The “BYPASS” position of

the rocker switch completely removes the PDI06 as a load from the signal path, so that the full amplifier

output power reaches the connected speakers.

SAFETY INFORMATION

The PDI06 converts the unwanted volume into heat. The maximum output power of the connected

amplifier should not exceed 120 W RMS. Always make absolutely certain that good air circulation is pro-

vided for to avoid dangerous accumulation of heat. Please remember that the useful life of your power

amplifier tubes is directly dependent on the power output generated. This means that your power stage

tubes will probably not last as long if you always run your amplifier at full power.
